Truly Dreadful Film

Simply Perfect

Must See Movie...

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

I love this script. I can't get enough of the film. I love everything about it. Even the music is not old after 8 years. Just watched it again. Dialogue is smart, witty. Every character is fleshed out and real. Don't get the naysayers at all. Kudos to all involved.

Kind of hard to know whether to congratulate Morning Glory for being enjoyable - so dashed all-round pleasant - with such formulaic ingredients, or to condemn it for failing to be much better with ingredients that offered more.In title and intermittent breathlessness it's a call back to the screwball comedies of the 30s, but that only highlights how much it misses their sharpness of script.It doesn't seem to know what to do with any of the potential narrative trajectories, and ends up offering a kind of taster menu of each without any one satisfying. Whether or not peppy McAdams turns the failing show around may not be much of a surprise, but the pacing of the elements of it is. The relationship with Patrick Wilson - and its signposted points of tension - doesn't develop in any one direction. The relationship with Harrison Ford - the question of whether he's right to push serious news, or whether the breakfast pap is legitimate - tries clumsily to develop in both.McAdams carries the film with surprising zest, irrepressibly perky without being tiresome, principled and determined without being saccharine, able to make a fool of herself without losing charm. But the film's a tragic waste of her two senior co-stars.Harrison Ford's role as the legendary war reporter who can't believe he's reduced to the humiliating depths of breakfast-time lifestyle fluff is perfect for him. He can be obnoxiously grouchy in the safe knowledge that we all love him really; his real-life reputation and star persona make the grumpiness and the underlying fatherly wisdom equally credible, and he enjoys himself by never breaking the humourlessness. But the potential is wasted by episodes that don't exploit the comic potential, and a storyline that doesn't give him a clear enough journey. Diane Keaton, meanwhile - enough of a great to have immediate gravity, and a legendary comedienne - just disappears. Her character - its potential as sparring partner or lesson for Ford, or mentor for McAdams - barely exists. It's as if the producers were so busy congratulating themselves at such a brilliant pairing for the feuding TV anchors that they forgot to write the script for them.It's all congenial enough; but it promises champagne and delivers a nice cup of tea.

"Morning Glory" is a lively sitcom style film about network television's morning programming. A dynamic, ambitious television producer (Rachel McAdams as Becky Fuller) is hired to salvage the "Daybreak" show, which is suffering from low ratings.The film develops an improbable plot about the two hosts of the show (Diane Keaton and Harrison Ford), their conflicts, and Fuller's attempts to inject some live and energy into the show.The best relationship that unfolds in the film is that of Fuller and the old warhorse newscaster, as played by Ford. His character believes it is beneath him to pander to the public with mindless morning entertainment. There is some good chemistry between McAdams and Ford, and she attempts to bring out the best in him. He recognizes her sincere intentions, and eventually rewards her with some entertaining skits and routines on the show.The film was well directed by Roger Mitchell, who captured the frenetic atmosphere of a network television crew. There was excellent camera work in dissolves and close-ups. The film was well cast with actors such as Jeff Goldblum as the hard-nosed television executive and Patrick Wilson in a thankless role as the romantic interest of Becky Fuller.While entertaining, "Morning Glory" could have been a better film. It tended to take itself too seriously and did not always provide believable situations within the studio. (The programming flub in labeling Jimmy Carter as a "sex offender" was not funny, and is the kind of snafu that rarely ever occurs in professional broadcasting.) But the film is worth seeing for the performance of McAdams. She was so engaging that it was not credible why she as executive producer of "Daybreak" would not have cast herself as the program's host.
